Supporting STEAM education initiatives and the Maker Movement, the
National Parenting Publication Award-winner Maker Lab includes 28
kid-safe projects and crafts that will get young inventors' wheels
turning and make science pure fun.
Each step-by-step activity is appropriate for kids ages 8-12, and ranked
easy, medium, or hard, with an estimated time frame for completion.
Requiring only household materials, young makers can build an exploding
volcano, race balloon rocket cars, construct a lemon battery, make
sticky slime, and more. Photographs and facts carefully detail the "why"
and "how" of each experiment using real-world examples to provide
context so kids can gain a deeper understanding of the scientific
principles applied.
With a foreword by Jack Andraka, a teen award-winning inventor, Maker
Lab will help kids find their inner inventor and create winning
projects for school projects, science fairs, and beyond.
